The Night (Al-Layl)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By the night, when it envelops, 1 and by the day when it unveils. 2 and That which created the male and the female, 3 Indeed your efforts differ. 4 As for one who gives [to others] and fears [God], 5 And believeth in goodness; 6 We shall surely ease him to the Path of Easing; 7 But as for him who is a miser, and self-sufficient, 8 and he belied the finest 9 We will ease him toward difficulty. 10 And what will his wealth avail him when he falls? 11 BEHOLD, it is indeed for Us to grace [you] with guidance; 12 And verify Ours is both the Hereafter and the life present. 13 Wherefore I have warned you of Fire flaming, 14 Which only the most wretched must endure, 15 who rejected the Truth, calling it falsehood and turned his back on it. 16 Far removed from it will be the righteous 17 even he who gives his wealth. to purify himself 18 And who hath no favour from anyone to recompense. 19 He desires only to please his Lord, the Supreme. 20 He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise). 21
